No the Chinook are not extinct. We did not sign away our land nor would we sell it, which made us non existant in the eyes of the federal government.
And also how can a tribe which is supposed to be extinct own 55% of the alotments on the Quinault Reservation.

As for you Head Hunter You are doing the Cowlitz tribe and the Barnett family a diservice with your hatefull uneducated opinions. In otherwords you put yourself on the same level as the all wise and honorable LittleZoZo.

I congratulate the Cowlitz tribe on thier federal recognition it was a long road and hard work.
